Leah sits down with her good friend Danielle of the Marriage & Martinis podcast to talk about her own relationship.

The two discuss Leah's new adventure into pursuing an open relationship with her long-time partner.

  • How did they know it was the right time to explore non-monogamy?
  • What is different about their relationship now that allows them to trust one another enough to pursue sexual experiences outside of their relationship?
  • What are the boundaries for sexual encounters outside their primary relationship?
  • What can we learn from healthy open relationship about how all couples can communicate around sex and relationships?

This episode is filled with important advice for any couple who feels like improved interactions could lead to deeper intimacy and a better, more fulfilling sex life.

Leah Carey's Good Girls Talk About Sex is built on a simple, powerful premise: honest, unfiltered conversation. As a Sex and Intimacy Coach, Leah guides discussions that feel less like interviews and more like the kind of intimate, revealing talk you'd share with a close friend. Each episode features women from an incredibly wide spectrum of life-differing in size, shape, age, orientation, and cultural or religious background. The stories include those from people raised as girls and transgender women, exploring a full range of relationship structures and levels of kink. What you'll hear are personal narratives about sexuality that are often left unspoken, shared without judgment. This podcast moves beyond theory into the lived, human experience, creating a rare space where complexity is welcomed and authenticity is the only rule. Tuning in means listening to voices that are frequently marginalized, finding common ground in unexpected places, and perhaps understanding your own story a little better through the generous sharing of others.
